#Gosh I am just thinking of Diana & Clark meeting the kids for the first time now

[puppetmaster13u]

I was thinking something in-between where it almost depends on how many xenos are there? Like if a queen is outputting hundreds then there’s not exactly a lot of time to give extra biomass and whatever else to each individual drone or runner. But if it’s just a few then it’s easier to do so. Or it could be something similar to a queen ant’s first few eggs and workers where they’re there to protect said queen and future eggs. Just where they could evolve into the equivalent of majors and super majors over time to do so even better. Because if those first few are killed off the whole colony is screwed, while in larger colonies you can have hundreds sacrificing themselves and it not affect the colony much at all. Idk if I’m explaining my thought process well at all lol

Omg the idea of Damian having flashes of memories from his MomDadTemplateQueenQueenQueen is amazing. I like to think the memories from previous lineages are more blurred than their usual vision, like they can perfectly recall it later, but it’s not a perfect picture if that makes sense? They can recall an old picture but if the picture is old and damaged then that’s what they’ll recall if that makes sense at all lol. Gosh poor boy has memories of fighting but not the muscle memory to pull it off and keeps getting distracted by the instinctive urge to find Bruce. Actually would the league even be aware of what Bruce is at first? Like would their blood still be acidic in human form or can they turn that off…

Gosh Jason’s return would probably be so different. I wanna say he’s slightly mindless after being revived not from the brain damage (well that too) but also because he’s slightly overwhelmed by memories of previous xenomorphs that are suddenly just there in his mind and he can’t forget them no matter how much he tries. Honestly tempting for Jason to scoop up Damian instinctively because he’s just a lil baby (to him) who is Not in a safe area and every instinct for both of them are screaming to get back to the hive. Probably not helped by Jason recently evolving since the Crusher is the runner equivalent of a praetorian, which are literally the caste that guards the queen and the young so… Yeah he suddenly has so many instincts pumped up to a thousand. 

Pfft, Bruce is so sad Jason is too big for him to carry him easily but he’s also just so relieved and happy to see that he’s alive. A little concerned about the small child with him that looks a bit too much like him and like Talia but well, two babies! Bonus baby for the price of one returning child! He can have a breakdown later.

Ohohoho more fun fact time! 

There was a cut scene in the movies of people being turned into hive material, and another of a xenomorph eating a victim

There are literal rhino xenomorphs that came from alien rino aliens called rhynth, which was impervious to fire unlike the other xenomorphs and could only be killed by freezing

One of the theories about the back vents is that they’re intakers for the atmosphere

Unlike the few we see in movies, there are more than 250 types of xenomorphs

Did you know that xenomorphs do have a natural predator that are reptilian, immune to their acid blood, and are a natural contender with them

They keep each other’s numbers in check on Xenomorph Prime (the home planet) but have never been brought off the planet 

We’ve actually seen a proto-xenomorph from a triolobite that infected an engineer, called a deacon, which was created in turn from the chemical goo

Predalien praetorians and queens have a unique ability to create bellybursters, which results in 3 to 5 offspring per host 

In the movies an android recreated a xenomorph called the protomorph, despite being a descendent of a cousin species

Said cousin species are the neomorphs, which emerge not from the chest but from the back and come from spores, not eggs

While all xenos can spit acid from time to time, there is in fact a specialized caste literally called the spitter

There’s a runner equivalent that explodes after it dies, called a burster due to the cysts on its head

While the red xenomorphs were called and colored that, the artists and writers have gone on record to say that in world they are actually the same color as the other xenos, they just needed a way for the readers to tell the two factions apart

At one point an AI created a xenomorph species called the white hybrids, which were a combination of human, xeno, and predator 

It took a queen, humans and a pair of predators working together to defeat them all 

There was an individual xeno called the necromorph that adapted to a necrotic disease while in incubation and was able to rapidly infect others

There’s also space jockey (aka engineer) xenomorphs born from more modern-day facehuggers which swamps even praetorians in size, though only drones of these type have been shown so it’s unknown how big they can get

Xenomorphs can be further mutated by the black goo, with the most well known one being subject 7 who was leucistic and was notably more intelligent than the others in the lab

There has been an irradiated xenomorph before, so radiation doesn’t always kill xenomorphs and may simply survive

Irradiated xenomorphs have a white glow and the one we know of had a body that acted akin to liquid nitrogen, freezing whatever it touched

While all xenomorphs can swim well, there’s specialized aquatic xenomorphs as well, which when fully grown are a similar size to praetorians

There’s a cut albino xenomorph drone in the movie Aliens which was smaller and said to be using its tongue to shape and mold the hive material

Thinkin more on the Xeno au and about the family. And mostly about what everyone would be. Like of course they'd start out as chestburster-esque with more flesh-colored exoskeleton that'd be really soft like skin and mostly only a long tail. And then grow into other things, but there's several castes that even basic runners and drones can grow into.

Bruce: Drone -> Warrior -> Praetorian -> Queen (Winged)

Barbara: Drone -> Warrior -> Alpha Warrior

Dick: Runner -> Carrier

Jason: Runner -> Prowler -> Crusher

Cassandra: Runner -> Prowler

Stephanie: Drone -> Warrior -> Praetorian

Tim: Drone -> Warrior -> Praetorian

Harper: Drone -> Warrior

Duke: Drone -> Warrior -> Tusked

Cullen: Runner -> Aquatic

Damian: Drone -> Warrior

Carrie: Drone -> Spitter

Terry: Runner -> Prowler

Mathew: Runner -> Prowler

Random fun facts & rabmbles:

Tusked were, well, tusked xenomorphs specifically bred by yautja to act as forced attack dogs, and the ones we know who were released and escaped were accepted by a queen as her own

Alpha warriors are canon and are slightly larger than other warriors, can command other warriors, and in some cases are more intelligent too. They're almost between warrior and praetorian in ranking.

The praetorian caste is also known as royal guards, because that's what they are in most cases. They protect the nest and eggs and queen, and if the queen dies they may replace the queen.

Canonically there was a comic where Batman fought against a giant crocodile alien (no it didn't come from Killer Croc thankfully lol) that he defeated by bleeding it out until the floor collapsed into lava

The xenomorphs have had a civil war before on their home planet for the Royal Jelly, the black xenomorphs and red xenomorphs both fighting each other for their queen to become the next Queen Mother

Did you know there's further castes beyond the queen? A queen can become a Matriarch, then an Empress, and then a Queen Mother

Crushers are the equivalent of praetorians for the runner castes, and are canonically the most armored outside the queen castes themselves.

There's a theory about the spines on the xenomorphs' backs, where the longer they are the stronger the xenomorph, at least for basic castes. However there's another theory that this is an age thing. Neither is confirmed.

Did you know that xenomorphs have worked with others several different times when they're under threat, especially the queens or young.

Xenomorphs have Eidetic memory, and can even access memories from previous xenomorphs along their bloodline.

Normal xenomorphs can eventually become queens, but a xenomorph can be born as one from a Royal Facehugger, which unlike normal facehuggers have two embryo: a queen and a drone/runner to protect said queen

There have been exotic xenomorphs that are individuals such as the tusked or the winged queens, usually altered genetically or with an incredibly rare host (for example a winged queen has canonically come from a vampire in the comics before)

All xenomorphs are female, save for a single individual created using human dna and other genetic manipulation that was known as the king xenomorph.

Other genetic hybrids have been created as well, the most well known being the Newborn but there have been more balanced ones as well such as Eloise (a vat-grown android-xeno hybrid) which can have abilties of both species

Fun fact: A chestburster will not emerge in someone with leprosy, staying dormant, and other xenomorphs will not attack the people due to them carrying said chestburster.

Yautja hunting parties will hunt hybrids more enthusiastically than normal base xenomorphs for both the challenge and in some cases thinking they're abominations, such as a Predalien (in which case elders are usually the one to hunt them)

However they will also use xenomorphs as mounts, attack dogs, and other such things. For example one yautja rode a xeno-rex in ancient times as a hunting steed.

@phoenixcatch7 I summon thee mutual lol

[phis-corner]

I saw your Cass x Marinette one shot. How would the Batfam and/or JL react to Marinette?

Bruce:

“Are you sure I’m not allowed to adopt her?”

“Well, if you do ever change your mind, I already have adoption papers prepared.”

Welcomes Mari to the family with only a tiny bit of snooping into her background, because Cass is scary. 

Still wishes that he could adopt her, but she’s going to end up part of the family either way, so whatever makes Cass happy works for him.

Dick:

“Another one, B?”

“What? What do you mean you didn’t adopt her? She fits all your criteria!”

“Oh. OHHHH.”

Lots and lots of hugs and squeals.

Instantly accepts her as a sister.

They’re gymnastics buddies now. He absolutely refuses to lose to her in a stretching contest.

Does his best to be a Mom™ and tries to cut her off from coffee too.

“We already have one coffee gremlin. Two of them will be unstoppable.”

Jason:

“New Wayne?” 

“Cassie’s girlfriend?”

“All right then. Am I allowed to corrupt this one?”

“So Bats can convert everyone to his methods, but I’m not allowed to teach even one of his kids to fire a gun?”

“You already know how to fire a gun? I want to see this.”

Mari isn’t as good as he is, but boy is she close.

Declares Marinette the best Wayne after Cass, because it’s universally agreed upon that Cass is the best.

Spars her a lot. Their skill levels are perfectly matched, so he only gets his butt kicked about half the time.

Tim:

Starts running a background check as soon as Cass tells them about her.

“Her name is Marinette, you said? I’ve got eight Marinettes that live in Paris with an age within five years of yours. Ooh, look, this one looks like Ladybug. Marinette Dupain-Cheng. Is that her?”

When he meets her in person, the first thing he does is ask if Adrien knows about the voicemail incident.

“Of course I know about that. Had to make sure that you were good enough for Cass, didn’t I?”

Once Marinette proves herself (aka bribing him with delicious coffee-flavored sweets), they become coffee buddies.

That mostly consists of helping each other sneak in coffee beans for their secret stashes when they are cut off from it by their family, but it also involves the occasional outing to a cafe where they make various baristas nearly wet themselves.

Damian:

Challenges Marinette to a duel for his sister’s hand.

“Cassandra only deserves the best. Are you worthy of my sister?”

It was originally a duel to the death. Cass stopped that with a look.

They fight for an hour and a half before Marinette finally pins him to the ground.

He is (mildly) impressed and allows Marinette to ‘continue courting my sister.’

Marinette finds out about his childhood and has to be stopped from portalling over to Nanda Parbat and killing both Ra’s and Talia.

“First Cass, now Damian? How dare they?”

Anyway, since she’s not allowed to murder, she settles for making all of Damian’s favorite childhood foods. Every. Day.

Steph:

“You’re Marinette! Oh my gosh, you’re the girl who makes Cass go all pink and flustered and-”

Cass tackles her to shut her up.

“We’re besties now. No takebacks.”

Marinette tries her best to get Steph to stop eating so many waffles with other tasty treats, to no avail.

“Yeeeah, those were great, but waffles.”

Babs:

“Think twice before you enter the Wayne household, Marinette. Seriously. It’s f*cking crazy in there, and once you enter, they’ll never let you leave.”

“Oh no. You’ve already met them, haven’t you?”

“Well, I tried.”

Does a deeper background check than Tim, somehow.

“Did you ever tell Adrien that you made the scarf?”

“How do I know? Security cameras, duh.”

Batman is scary, sure, but Oracle is the truly terrifying one.

She knows everything. Literally everything.

Including which Hello Kitty stickers Marinette used on which folders for each subject back in collége.

Duke:

Stares into her eyes very seriously.

Continues doing this for a very long time, until Marinette is positively sweating.

“Save yourself before it’s too late.”

Behind him, a crash sounds as Jason throws Tim off the side of the stairs, just as Dick walks past.

A paintball whizzes by his head as Damian charges in, screeching a war cry.

Cass joins the fray and takes them all down in thirty seconds, standing victorious, until she’s sniped by a paintball and dramatically falls to the floor.

Alfred is holding a second paintball gun. 

Alfred wins.

BONUS

Clark:

Is at the Manor for an interview. Enters the living room to see them all congregated on various seats.

Eyes glance over Marinette at first.

Blinks, then looks at her again.

“Bruce. Did you get another kid?”

Marinette cheerfully informs him that she actually turned down the adoption papers.

“I-is that allowed? Is that allowed???”

Diana:

Also declares herself Mari’s mother.

“She is a fierce warrior, this one. I must take her under my wing.”

“You are the wielder of the Ladybug miraculous as well? Well, since Bruce has not managed to adopt you, I must do so now. Mother would love for her successor to be her granddaughter.”

Is disappointed when Marinette insists that she has ‘two parents, both alive, and I am very happy with them!’

“Alive, you say? Do you need me to fix that?”

“NO!”

“Well, all right then.”

Decides to be her mother in spirit.

Starts showing up at the Manor weekly to train her.
